This course is interactive. Really?

20 de setembro de 2014

E-learning courses are commonly called interactive courses. Many of these courses host presentations and articles online, assign weekly tasks to participants, organize webinars and chats, but are they really interactive? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, I’d like to focus on the second definition “requiriring people to talk with each other or do things together”. This...Read More

What is ‘meaningful learning’?

31 de julho de 2014

by Carol Lethaby

Hello again! Many years ago I took a class in educational psychology and came across this quote from the cognitive psychologist, David Ausubel: “If I had to reduce all of cognitive psychology to one principle it would be this: the most important single factor influencing learning is what the learner already knows. Ascertain this and...Read More

Do you understand?

2 de julho de 2014

by elainehodgson

In my experience as an English teacher, I have observed other teachers’ lessons and been observed countless times. It is probably safe to say that the majority of teachers are much more concerned about what to do than about how to do it. However, the ‘hows’ can be as important as the ‘whats’ and ‘whys’,...Read More

My kid wants to be a teacher. Now what?

2 de junho de 2014

by elainehodgson

I must have mentioned before on this blog that I teach adolescents in their last year of High School. Needless to say, this is a period of great anxiety as most of them intend to go to university and now have to choose a career. It is the time when most of them realise that...Read More

Becoming a Teacher: Expectations Vs Reality: Where does PD take place?

11 de maio de 2014

by Roseli Serra

Being a teacher for almost 30 years I have a clear idea of how demanding, time consuming and rewarding this profession is and how tough it can get sometimes. If you’ve been teaching for 2, 3 years, you probably have this idea already. Yes, I gave up my Psychologist career to become a teacher. Being...Read More

Learning to Grammar

3 de abril de 2014

by Dominic Walters

Three private students of mine recently proclaimed that they believed they had become less fluent since the beginning of our lessons a little over two months ago. They were naturally preoccupied given that they were paying good money to improve their English. Needless to say, I had to put their minds at ease, and it...Read More

26 de fevereiro de 2014

by Denilso de Lima

As an ELT professional and author in Brazil, I am well known as a Lexical Approach evangelist. I know some of you out there do not take the Lexical Approach as an approach. You may think it is only a series of techniques for teaching vocabulary: collocations, phrasal verbs, idioms, fixed sentences, semi fixed sentences...Read More

Pronunciation – prioritizing is paramount

20 de fevereiro de 2014

by Ricardo Sili

The teaching of English pronunciation is such a challenge. Maybe because there is so much to accomplish that we often feel overwhelmed, and perhaps even insecure of our own abilities to give learners what they need. Most of us will let the course books tell us what to do and when to do it, as...Read More
